CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CHART
The information presented in this bulletin is intended as a guide to the chemical resistance of materials used in general. The physical properties of a material are
affected differently by each corrosive media.

Rating Explanation
A Excellent; B Good; C Poor; D Do Not Use; Blank No information available

Ratings are based on media at room temperatures unless otherwise specified. Although most of the suggested ratings in the Chemical Compatibility Guide chart are
based on published details, we cannot accept responsibility for problems arising from use of this Information. We do however recommend conducting critical
application testing to verify the rating.
